BRUSSELS -- Tasked with getting Belgiums golden generation to live up to its billing, Roberto Martinez said his biggest challenge as the new coach is to instill a winning mentality and make a young squad comfortable in the role as favorite.We have the talent, Martinez said at his official presentation on Thursday. But in the same way, a winning team is not just made by talent.The 43-year-old former Everton manager was hired as coach of the worlds second-ranked team on a two-year deal Wednesday. Martinez, in his first international job, replaces Marc Wilmots, who was fired after Belgiums failure to get beyond the quarterfinals at the European Championship.A team containing stars like Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku is falling short of expectations at the highest stage, and Martinez said he can see why.The hardest thing is to win when you are expected to win, he said.You have to feel the direction of developing a winning mentality ... feeling at ease of carrying the expectations of being a golden generation.Speaking in Brussels, where he plans to bring his family and set up home, Martinez promised an attacking brand of football, saying he would look to mold a team always wanting to be on the ball, control the ball, be on the attack.However, Martinez, who has managed teams with poor defensive records in the English Premier League, said: You need to be able to defend.Martinez was fired by Everton in May after nearly three years in charge. He previously managed Swansea and Wigan, which he guided to a shock FA Cup title in 2013 -- along with relegation from the Premier League the same year.The move to Belgium reunites Martinez with two national-team players at Everton -- Lukaku and winger Kevin Mirallas -- and former Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini, who is now at Manchester United.Belgians are hoping that Martinez, the first Spaniard to ever coach the national side, will help Lukaku find the same touch in front of goal that he has regularly displayed at Everton.He is one of the biggest talents in world football. But we have to remember he is 23, said Martinez.As fate would have it, Martinezs first game in charge will be a friendly against Spain on Sept. 1.Martinez, who wants to meet all the Belgian players in advance and has not decided who should be captain, said the match feels like destiny.Its quite a nice touch, he said. Its going to be a real test on the pitch.Belgiums first World Cup qualifying match is against Cyprus in Nicosia on Sept. 6. Bosnia, Estonia, Gibraltar and Greece are also in Group H.

WASHINGTON -- John Tortorella had worried about Sundays game, the first matinee for the Columbus all season. He didnt want the Washington Capitals to get off to a quick start.The Capitals scored on Nicklas Backstroms goal barely three minutes into the game, but the Blue Jackets didnt fold and got a last-minute goal with Backstrom in the penalty box and escaped with their fourth straight win, 3-2 over the angry Capitals. Backstrom was called for high-sticking Nick Foligno with 1:34 remaining, a penalty that the Capitals vehemently disputed.Alexander Wennberg took a pass from Foligno and slammed it past Capitals goalie Braden Holtby with 54 seconds left in the game. The goal was confirmed after a video review.It was the Blue Jackets second power play goal of the game, and Washington coach Barry Trotz didnt like the call that cost his team.If you see the replay, he doesnt really touch him, and his head pops up when (Backstroms) stick is already on the way down. Thats just a little disrespectful to the game, Trotz said. The penalty call was not great for me.Backstrom, who also assisted on Alex Ovechkins ninth goal of the season midway through the second period, didnt think he touched Foligno.Last two minutes you get a penalty thats not a penalty, thats tough, Backstrom said.Columbus has its longest winning streak since they ran off nine straight wins from March 18-April 4, 2015.Sometimes it seemed like they took over the game more and more but we started to play smart and at the end of the game we felt like we played smart and got opportunity to score, Wennberg said. Find a way to win. Its as eeasy as that.ddddddddddddTortorella, who has eliminated morning skates from the Blue Jackets routine, talked to his team about the perils of getting off to a slow start.They score one, but they dont score the two and three where it can really knock you out in an afternoon game like this, really a morning game, he said. That steadied us a little bit.Ovechkins ninth goal of the season gave the Capitals a 2-1 lead, but the Blue Jackets tied it just 14 seconds into the third period on Brandon Dubinskys second goal of the season.Columbus goal by Foligno six minutes into the second period broke Washingtons streak of 15 straight successful penalty kills.Other than the disputed call, Trotz didnt find much to find fault with -- even though it was the Capitals second loss in five days to the Blue Jackets.They played a solid game. We played a solid game. Theres not going to be a lot of mistakes, Trotz said.Game notes Washington was without C Lars Eller and RW T.J. Oshie. Both have upper-body injuries. They were injured in Fridays game against Detroit. . C Paul Carey was recalled from AHL Hershey. . Columbus D Dalton Prout (upper body) missed his third straight game. . D Todd Jones (foot) was out for the sixth straight game. Tortorella says Jones is back practicing with the team, but isnt sure when hell return.UP NEXT:Blue Jackets: Host Colorado on Monday.
